- Video: Riding the full Waterloo to Reading line from Reading to London Waterloo onboard a South Western Railway (SWR) Class 455. This was the 2C50 1542 Reading to London Waterloo service which is one of only a few 455 diagrams to/from Reading, so because of its rarity I wanted cover the full route. Along the way the train calls at Longcross, a station that is rarely stopped at by most services.

I love the way SWT refurbed those 455s. They are super up to date inside and the new motors somehow retain that unmistakable BREL-esque whine.
Its a shame though despite modernisation and the new AC traction, SWR are tossing these and the refurbished 456s in the bin...
@@CHOO-CHOOPlane I think it's because SWT were the ones that wanted to keep them, and now SWR are in the mix, their doing their own thing with these units. I hope they get taken by southern last minute or something.
I was pissed off when Govia threw away there 365 fleet dispute probably being better than any of their other trains. I can say that too because ive been on them.
@@bb-3653 Haha. Southern scrapped them first!! Remember what happened years ago with the class 442s? They withdrew them, used class 458, only to have to put 442s back again, newly refurbished, then the 442s are gone for good!!!!! Now the 455s are staying on SWR for, who knows how long, they just do whatever they want!!! Money go brr!!!! 🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰
@@AnandamoyeeRahman yeah I know, wasted the money, amd the 455s are staying until the 701s are available for service unfortunately. Or at least that's what I've heard
I swear to you, you must of read my mind because it was literally last night that I was searching for such a video. Thank you!
This takes me back. I used to frequent this line back in the early 1970s. A lot has changed since then. Martin’s Heron and Winnersh Triangle didn’t exist, and that fence on the platform at Ascot wasn’t there either, and you could get out of the train on either side. We used to nip out and get the train back to Bracknell on the other platform.
Excellent footage. It's rare to have Class 455 units working Reading - London Waterloo services. :)
Thanks very much :)
Not really and its bloddy annoying feels like years on them
But is pathetic (+80 min w/out toilets)
Thanks for putting the stations on screen; it makes such a difference as I can follow the journey on a map at the same time.
Now that’s what you call RARE!!
It's not and I hate it
Excellent 75mph footage! Rare to see a 455 go this fast.
Thanks, I agree. I’m hoping to get it and a 458 on the Windsor & Eton Riverside branch at some point, as the 455 is also quite rarely used on that line.
70 is the max speed on that line, if the driver holds it open and the unit's have good motors then it is possible to hit 70 between wokenham and bracknel and between sunningdale and virginia water.
@@hosedevilsame here
Who allowed this toilet-less units on a +80 min service? This route is perfect for the 458, as it has toilets, comfortable seats and a lot of standing room. 455s can go well on Hampton Court and Windsor services.
Tell me about it. Also they make the class 450 as bad as possible and call it "first class" like what the heck🤣🤣🤣
It's SO rare for a 455 doing a London Waterloo to reading route
i rode on one at like 11 pm when i got back from romania on vacation
Prohaps the Class 707s are working with Southeastern that time
Nice video! 😊👍
Thanks very much :)
Prohaps the Class 450s were the services to Basingstoke, Alton and the Portsmouth Harbour services and the south west London surburban metro services
At 4:28 the train goes over the points in spur junction.In my video of a 166 passing cemetery junction you can hear train going over the points to and at 4:33 the train goes over the Kennet and right near my house.My house is the one that you can straight away when you go past it(4:38)
Oh no not 4:38 (4:36)
I honestly feel like SWR should add a limited service to victoria from vauxhall or even charing cross
That would be nice
28:12 The start of my favourite part! (I've used ascot alot for London Waterloo.)
Great video
Thanks very much
When I watched that video.I understand trains take a fast and direct route bypassing many towns and cities.Not much stop/starting.As u would do in a car.I enjoyed the video and a little bit of training spotting.
really cool ride guessing that's one of the new platforms
which your train arrived on
I acc love these vossloh motor 455s ,
Fun fact: GWR do a much faster service from Reading to London.
They'll blast you into London in like 25 minutes, and the fastest trains don't stop anywhere. Slower trains stop at (Taplow, Maidenhead), Slough.
Apparently this line is only like 70mph, i think it would be better if it were rated to 75mph to 90mph, or maybe even 100 at some points. wouldn't that be better?
.it has longer distances between stations since it goes to reading.
.it likely had signals that are with enough distance and even then can't the signals be shifted a bit to accommodate for the new speed limits.
.some track reinforcement could be done I guess.
.
In summary the southern parts of British rail, tend to have lines that look like they can be modified for higher rated speeds, but....they just stay mid speed or slowish? Why is that ? (70mph is fast, but southwestern railway have 100mph capable units, so I mean, it would make more sense to have faster track speeds where appropriate in my opinion, a long stretch of track like this looks suitable, and it would be way more convenient imo)
Why the SWR class 455 don’t have refurbished on the South Western Railway
Mr Athavan because they will begin to be replaced this year by freshly built ‘aventra class 701 trains’! It makes no sense to re furb them...
1:33
Always wondered as a kid what this "dt dt dt dt dt dt" noise was, any ideas? Is it some sort of air compressor?
yes
So rare for a 455 unit to be on the Reading line does the 455 have toliets like the 458s?
Nope. And whoever designed these now distinctly long in the tooth trains had never heard of the word "ventilation". Modern yes, when they replaced slam door rolling stock. But well past their best now.
Nice
Thanks very much
@@CHOO-CHOOPlane you are welcome
It's rare for a class 455 to go to reading now only 458/8'and 458/0 and 707s go to reading. Wait I think SWR does not have the 458/8 anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong
Southwest 158 Your right they do but they don’t do 707s to reading
Ok thanks.
4:26
1:04:34 I can see my house
701 yuckey
Soon to be replaced by the class 701 aventra trains
Already replaced by class 707 and 458 trains
1:08 that carriage is different from the rest
That's because it's a old class 508 carriage.
I know but why is it there?
Isle of Life it's there because the class 455 was a 4 car unit and that unit had 3 cars so they used a class 508 car instead of a 455
